@johnculotta Apologies for any frustration there John. The SmartThings Extend is still currently in a closed beta and there may be issues around using it, give us a follow or subscribe to our newsletter for updates in that regard.

Dammit! I should have just gone with the Sony TV now boxing day deals are done. I’ll return mine as well any ways and just wait till the next sales and go with an LG or Sony TV. It’s just dumb that a Samsung Tv cannot integrate natively with a SamsungThings.

I can have a big\small window as I want. Where it is placed and so on.
I have emails\texts\whatsapp and every message you would get on your phone.
On course you can pick and chose what you want to show. I hope that helps

I’m just getting every version of ST android to see if any will work on my TV.

Another user responded stating that the SmartThings Extend was re-branded to “Link” as part of the Nvidia shield…is that accurate? He also stated that under the label of his Link, he can see the Extend label.

Is it possible to just re-flash my Extend with the Link firmware?

More importantly, why is@SmartThings feeding me misinformation on twitter responding a month ago that the Extend is still in beta?

@amarseelam No updates as of yet, the extend is in a closed beta program currently and when more info becomes available we'll be sure to make it known. If you have any other questions, please feel free to DM us and we'd be happy to assist further!
